Dr. Mobereola was at Nigerdock to assess the ongoing maintenance work on the DB Lagos, a special mission vessel used for maritime surveillance and national security operations. The vessel plays a vital role in combating oil theft, smuggling, illegal immigration, and other maritime crimes within Nigeria’s waters.
Speaking during the inspection, Dr. Mobereola expressed satisfaction with the progress made and described the project as a clear demonstration of Nigeria’s capability to handle sophisticated ship repairs and construction. “What I am seeing here today is a testimony to the fact that we have the ability not only to repair but also to build here in Nigeria,” he stated.

He further emphasized that the inspection aligns with the vision of the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, His Excellency Adegboyega Oyetola, who has prioritized the development of local capacity in shipbuilding and repairs. “We at NIMASA are demonstrating our belief in this vision by maintaining our own vessels here,” Dr. Mobereola added.
This visit underscores NIMASA’s drive to promote indigenous maritime infrastructure, enhance national security, and advance sustainable growth in Nigeria’s maritime sector.
